Flagship 2030, A Bold Vision

By the year 2030, CU-Boulder will be one of the nation’s top public research universities and a leading model of the “new flagship university” of the 21st century. The bold and visionary initiatives of Flagship 2030 lay a strong foundation for the university as we redefine learning and discovery in a global context and set new standards in education.

Guided by Flagship 2030, CU-Boulder is creating a new kind of national comprehensive research university by:

Collaborating on solutions to our greatest challenges in the sciences, arts, and humanities

Pursuing knowledge in service to Colorado, the nation, and the world

Forging new kinds of partnerships with government, community, and business

Flagship 2030’s bold approach offers a unique opportunity for the university to inspire imagination, creativity, and discovery; become a global force for expanding frontiers of knowledge; exemplify the power of diversity; promote Colorado as a global crossroads of ideas and discovery; and prepare students to realize their full potential.
